Pain Of Inner self3

I panted loudly, my hands on my knee caps and my head pointing towards the mossy ground. Beads of sweat ran down my round mud-covered face as I tried to get a grip on my racing heart and my tired body. After a minute or so, I straightened up, my purple colored eyes fixed on the path in front of me which disappeared with in the trees. I looked around, trying to see if anyone was following me or not, trying to see if anyone was spying or not. I shivered suddenly because of the cold, it was dusk but it was winter. The trees were damp because of the early rain and that is why my clothes were soaked with water and mud.4

But that was not the only reason. 5

The fact was, I was being attacked by a team that out-numbered me. I did not know the reason why they were after me, but they just were. And they didn't look like the killing type either... they looked like a bunch of kids send to capture me. I knew this because one of the eldest one (and probably the most powerful one) captured me in a water ball and I had to use almost all of my chakra to get through it. This wasn't good because I knew that one more attack and I will certainly go unconcious, failing in my mission to go back home to my town safely.6

I sighed loudly before I jumped onto one of the trees and started running. After an hour or two, I was out of stamina and I really needed to rest for a while. 7

I jumped down into a clearing and even though I knew that the team was after me, I sat on a rock, trying to get my breathe back. I fumbled with my belt. I pulled out a small water bottle and drained it down my throat. 8

My eyes were closed but I can sense them getting closer and closer to the clearing, following my oh-so-obvious tracks.9

I put the bottle down as I spotted them on the branches, panting but looking down at me as though I was some missing nin that has to be captured and brought back. I spotted the hidden leaf sign on their forehead and slightly flinched. Now I was even more confused to see that the leaf village wanted a nobody like me dead or captured. 10

I glared at them tiredly before running my hand through my long black locks. They jumped into the clearing, three kids and their sensei probably, staring at me. I pocketed the bottle back into my belt and stared at them, still sitting on the rock. Like some really stupid kid looking dumb. They would be probably laughing at me in thier heads. I checked my chakra, good enough to do one battle not anymore. Or create a diversion before running again but what good that will be? They would probably track me down again... they were after all ninjas. 11

"Surrender," the eldest spoke, his silver hair shining under the stars. His face was almost covered up with a mask, revealing only his one eyes. 12

I raised my eyebrows and tried not to make a joke out of the situation. As seriously as I could, I looked at him and said in a straight voice.13

"Why?" 14

The whole team looked surprised at this; maybe realizing that I was so dumb that I didn't even know the reason why they were capturing me.15

"You don't know?" one of the boy asked, he had a mane of golden hair, tanned skin and whiskers on his cheeks. He sounded surprised and shocked.16

"Am I suppose to?" I asked looking at him, annoyed.17

There was a minute silence.18

"You are wanted in the hidden village of Konoha by fifth Hokage, Tsunade," The silver haired guy spoke.19

"Why?"20

"We do not know the reason but we were told to capture you so if you please come quietly with us and do no more fighting, we will return back to Konoha," The silver haired guy said in a calm voice.21

My head was full of thoughts; first of all they wanted to kidnap me and they didn't even know why they wanted to kidnap me in the first place? Why did the Hokage needed me anyway. It wasn't like I was a special person or something.22

And then it hit me. They knew. They knew who I was and what I knew. Good lord, was I in deep danger or what. 23

I sprang up from my rock and turned my back at them. Though I was only fourteen years old, I did not care about my level of fighting experience and my short chakra anymore. If they captured me, they captured my village's most secret weapon. Me. Not that I was that special or anything but still... I had to think about my village first before me.24

So I did what any stupid idiot girl like me would do, I turned my back at them, making them wonder that I was nuts or something that I was daring to fight than surrending.25

"Sorry mister, but I don't go to any village that somebody just requests me to," I said before making a few hand seals. My hands glowed with a golden light, my chakra. I turned around, facing their shocked faces as the golden lights grew in my hands.26

"ALPHA DESTRUCTION JUTSU!" I shouted before slamming my glowing hands on the mossy wet ground. 27

The ground bulged out because of the energy, trees trumbled away and the ninjas fell back in surprise. They were surprised at my actions. 28

I straightened up, black clouds forming in front of my eyes suddenly but I shook them away. I took a step back when a younger black haired boy kicked me but missed.29

"Sasuke! Stop!" The silver guy shouted.30

"Kakashi-sensei, what's going on?" the pink haired girl shouted.31

But I ignored them. The boy in front of me looked no older than me, around fourteen like me. He was wearing a black shirt and short pants with a red symbol on the back of his shirt. He was an Uchiha... that was clear to me.32

And he was good in tai-jutsu because in an instance he was behind me and kicked me again but thankfully my tai-jutsu skills weren't that bad either, and I again dodged it. He gritted his teeth in anger and irritation as he punched my face but I quickly grabbed his fist. Dark shadows came in front of vision again. Wrong timing.33

And the next thing I knew I was thrown back by another kick and I was hit against the tree trunk; blood spluttering out of my mouth in the process.34

"You idiot Sasuke! We weren't suppose to hurt her!" The blond shouted loudly.35

Wasn't suppose to hit me? I gasped for air and struggled on my feet again. Oh god I longed for a relaxing spring bath and a hot cup of tea. HOW CAN I THINK OF SOMETHING AT THE TIME LIKE THIS!?36

I growled under my breathe. So much of getting home.37

"Shut up, Naruto," Sasuke said before glaring at me like I was a S-class criminal. Man, what did I ever do to him that he already started hating me so much.38

I joined my hands and again made a few hand seals; I wasn't giving up. Not that easily.39

"Look Hikari, there is no need of fighting," Kakashi said as he stepped forward, trying to ease my growing temper.40

I stopped dead as I glared at him, my purple eyes getting a tint of firey red in it. He knew my name... it looked like that Konoha was after me for a very important reason.41

"I still don't know why you need me," I said as I wiped away the blood that stained my mouth.42

"You are needed for a good cause in Konoha," The pink haired girl shouted, angrily.43

I snorted and giggled slightly. Though my injured state, I still had a mind wide open for sarcasm comments and total irony. I was after all a Yesha.44

"Oh really? Like what? Helping the world to be a better place? If that is so, you guys are not doing a good job," I said and smirked like I was the ruler or entire world or something. 45

"HEY! WAS THAT SUPPOSE TO BE A JOKE!?" Naruto shouted. 46

Before I can say anything, the boy named Sasuke stepped forward.47

"Can't we just go?" 48

"No, we JUST can't go... we have to get the Yesha first before we go," Naruto said.49

Sasuke flinched.50

It looked like a whole soap opera in front of me as the pink haired girl looked from one boy to another and Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other as they would kill each other any second. 51

I stepped back, trying to run away but I bumped into something. A warm something. I gulped and looked back to see the man named Kakashi looking at me.52

'A replication?' I thought as I tried to attack him but he simply grabbed my arm and twisted it at the back of neck, earning a loud yell from me and then pushed me against the muddy mossy ground. Tears of pain started to fill my eyes but I held them back.53

"Sorry but I really have to do this," he muttered before pressing the pressure point at my neck. I gasped as darkness overcame me and the last thing I knew that I was picked up like a rag doll by the same man and carried away towards Konoha. Or in other words; my personal enemy.54
